Average gross rent is $1,310, 21% below the St. Petersburg average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Petersburg. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Pinellas County average of 3.8 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $80,764. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
